Curly me

Farewell!

This is where I get off...

I'm not closing the blog (that I know of) as there are a lot of fun memories therein, I haven't had time to archive them yet (yes, I'm into that) not to mention that Jamie's still got access and could find some reason to post (yeah right, reason perhaps, time, not likely - ha...ahem)

And so ends an era of my life and, in line with all the wonderful "change" input out there, I'm totally in. Ok? ;)

Don't miss me too much - and if you think of me, shoot up a prayer for me. - They would be greatly appreciated. (And I'll do likewise for you!)

Ciao for now dear all!

To all you coffee-lovers out there, don't miss this!!!

The e-spresso site is launched!

I already subscribed, and it's still the 13th on this side of the world. (Yes, I feel rather smug about that! Snicker)

For once, it's actually the good stuff that you can have as much as you want without feeling it will screw with your health. - Well, ahem...I think at least.

I saw someone put up a disclaimer for what could have been espresso:

"Warning; may cause headaches (Right...), nausea (hmmm...what else were you doing to get that?), regret (I don't think so!), frustration (totally! - At the fact that I might not get it any sooner than the day of the week I think I should!), anger (again, because I didn't get it when I wanted to), bitterness (well, I doubt I'd go that far), or death (be afraid, be very afraid!!)

So aside from the foolishness of those warnings, what do I care?!!

I've only loved, loved, loved the effect of any buzz I've ever had with coffee (though of course that would not be something I've experienced on this side of the world) but whatever, this is NOT meant to be a rant about the possible sad side effects of coffee, this is about the e-spresso! Don't miss out on it folks, I think we can create the pool for it - the more we're into it, the more they'll put into it. Right? So sign up!!!

P.S. To all those who are not coffee lovers; or who prefer mate, tea, green tea - or whatever else - over coffee, just take a shot. - Literally! It's on the house, what can you lose?! ;)

Before I forget!

"Not at my desk"

I found that seems to be a rare post on my skype, so much so that people figured it was "temporary", and I got a LOT of skypes from folks saying "Cel, when you get back, skype me, I have a question". - Which...ahem...meant I answered when I actually got to my desk, a week later. :P The best part was having folks ask me to run around our property as a favor to get someone who lives here, and then have to tell them that I actually was on vacation and NOT home. Snicker :D

The point though is that I was on vacation - I went up to Guadalajara...had a great time, got to see a bit more of it than last time, more of the homes too, and managed to convince Cristina (fellow Italian) to tag along, so that was fun. Alas we didn't take many pics AT ALL, for various reasons (including the thought that we hadn't taken the camera with us, only to find that actually we had, hmmm...) but for what they're worth, I present you with some of the many jovial faces of Cristina...and a couple shots of me. - Yes, I look tired, I guess sleep wasn't at the top of the "to-do" list. ;)

Yes, you can say it - we make lousy tourists!

I'm now down in Cuernavaca - NOT vacationing, but definitely enjoying the warm(er) weather. It's been freezing at the CTC so the warmth is welcome. :) You might or might not hear from me, but regardless, have a great week! Ciao!
